Miyoski, and Kozaki, who described very intelligently the government, social customs, and general improvement of the country since the revolution of 1868 when the descendents of the original dynasty were restored to the kingdom.

Then follow short sketches of the ancient and mediaeval confederations and more detailed accounts of the four principal federations of today, the United States, Switzerland, Germany and Canada...
